How To Ring In The New Year Like Bridget Jones

New Year’s Eve is not for everybody. In fact, some of us find it downright silly. Pointy hats covered in glitter? Drunk people on every corner?

First up, here’s how to ring in the new year in the style of our favorite (or shall I say favourite) single lady in existence, Bridget Jones!
